I just look at their eyes while they're talking and it becomes very clear to me.”

I'd be on set talking about my girlfriend and someone would say "Oh, you're a lesbian! That's amazing." It's such a warm, welcoming community in that sense.”

“The more we as a society make women's sex lives seem like a secret, the more hostile that becomes. Because when you get into that cycle of thinking, no matter what you're doing, you feel shameful about it, because there's no way to talk about it.

You can only come to that realization if you're having these conversations, and learning what normal is for other people.”
